Pros
You work on a spectrum of projects from reputable clients all over the world. The studio is inspiring, and you work among other talented designers that are always willing to push the needle. As long as you’re willing to put in the time and effort, the boundaries are endless. There’s also occasional catered breakfast, lunch, and 4PM snacks!
Cons
Culture is extremely tense and stressful. It’s easy to get burnt out making turnover high. You spend countless hours and weekends on projects only to hope that Yves will like it while lacking his support throughout the way. Yves is also difficult to work with and unpredictable. While you work on some game-changing projects some of them don’t see the light of day, making efforts seem pointless. Senior management can also do a better job rewarding employees, providing support, and appreciating us more. There’s a power struggle between some of them too making the culture awkward at times. You must know how to work with difficult personalities and high-pressure environments to survive.
